We love the eternally popular German-style Kölsch: it’s thirst-quenching, smooth, and combines the best flavor components of the ale and lager experience. There’s a welcome but subtle citrus presence from a generous hopping regimen. This beer is brewed true to style, however, and the result is incredibly crisp and balanced with a slightly spicy finish.…
Behold! The Troy Pig Out People's Choice winner. ? Our BBQ Chicken Bacon Ranch is a dream come true.

Treat yourself to pizza and beer at the taproom…

Stay Tuned While We Look for a New Space:
After over 10 years of crafting beer, building community, and making incredible memories, our time at this space has ended. While we’ve faced our share of obstacles, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built and beyond grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey. Our last day of business was April 13.
Through the years, we’ve had so much fun—hosting incredible bands, unforgettable events, and, most importantly, building a community that has meant everything to us. We can’t thank everyone enough who has supported us, stuck by our side, and shared in this adventure through the good, the great, and the tough times. Your support has meant the world to us, and we appreciate you more than we can say.
To everyone who has worked with us, for us, and had fun with us along the way—thank you. You’ve made Rare Form what it is, and we’re forever grateful.
As for what’s next? We’re searching for a new home, but until we find the right space, Rare Form will take a pause. This isn’t goodbye forever — just a break.
